In this post I will start with working out some basics, and then we add our own GUI about_ help GUI to our tabcompletion !! ) lets first look at the profile after the setup :

ii[tab] $p[tab]

But when I try this, "ii[tab]" doesn't complete. The story is similar with most other examples. All I did to install (the latest) PowerTab was to unpack the zip file in my Modules directory, then Import-Module PowerTab, and then went through the
configuration wizard. I'm not aware of anything else I should have done.

The documentation isn't totally there yet. I'm hoping to help out on that a little on what you can and can't do with PowerTab. JasonMArcher replied in another thread with a draft of some of the functionality of PowerTab.

Thanks, that thread (and in particular, the "cheat sheet" referred to) was very useful. In particular, all the special character options like %, @, and in particular the history completion with #, are very useful - and awfully hard to find out
about. Can that cheat sheet be added to about_PowerTab (as you say in the other thread)?

It also seems that my config was somehow corrupt. I went through the wizard again, and it's now a lot better. Is there a way of validating the config (or even just reporting on some basic details - seeing "0 WMI classes" would have started me wondering,
if nothing else...)
